6th International Congress of DipterologyA comparison of the dolichopodid faunae of the Russian FarEast and JapanNegrobov, O.P. (1) & M. Satô (2)(1) Voronezh State University, Voronezh, 394006, Russia(2) Rishiri Town Museum, Senhoshi, Rishiri Island, Hokkaido 097-0311, JapanThe study of the dolichopodid fauna of the Russian Far East began withdescriptions of new species of Dolichopus from Primorsky Krai byStackelberg (1928). Since that time, 44 papers have been published byStackelberg, Smirnov, Udovenco, Negrobov and their co-workers. As aresult, 206 species plus 1 subspecies have been recorded, which belong tothe following genera: Argyra (4 species), Asyndetus (2), Campsicnemus (9),Chrysotimus (2), Chrysotus (11), Diaphorus (4), Dolichophorus (1),Dolichopus (75 species, 1 subspecies), Hercostomus (19), Hydrophorus (4),Medetera (36), Mesorhaga (1), Nematoproctus (1), Neurigona (5),Paraclius (1), Pseudoxanthochlorus (1), Suschania (1), Rhaphium (14),Scellus (2), Sciapus (4), Syntormon (2), Systenus (1), Teuchophorus (1),Thinophilus (2), Thrypticus (2), and Xanthochlorus (1). Although thefaunae of Sakhalin, the Kuriles and Kamchatka are imperfectly known, thenumbers of recorded species amount to 47 (+ 1 subspecies), 29 and 48respectively.In contrast, the Japanese fauna of dolichopodid flies is imperfectly known.Since Matsumura (1905), who described Dolichopus nitidus Fallén, therehave been published 29 papers by Matsumura, Becker, Parent, Takagi,Smirnov, Negrobov and co-workers, Meuffels, Kasagi, Hirashima (ed.),Saigusa, Satô, Ohishi, Saitama Kontyu Danwakai (ed.), Masunaga andYang. There are 80 species recorded to date, which belong to the generaAcymatopus (5 species), Argyra (2), Australachalcus (1), Chrysosoma (1),Conchopus (17), Condylostylus (3), Diostracus (12), Dolichopus (5),Hercostomus (3), Hydrophorus (1), Liancalus (1), Medetera (16),Mesorhaga (3), Neurigona (4), Rhaphium (2), Syntormon (1),Tachytrechus (1), Teuchophorus (1) and Thambemyia (1).Key Words: Dolichopodidae, fauna, Russian Far East, Japan178
